From data to dynamical systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated how well properties of a deterministic nonperiodic flow model can be recovered from trajectories of stochastic perturbations, and they showed that the stability properties of the periodic orbit cannot be fully recovered from a finite length trajectory as the magnitude of the perturbation converges to zero.

Abstract: This article is part of a series commemorating the 50th anniversary of Ed Lorenz's seminal paper 'Deterministic nonperiodic flow'. The system he studied has become the object of extensive mathematical investigations and serves as a paradigm of a low-dimensional chaotic dynamical system. Nonetheless, Lorenz maintained his focus on the relationship between dynamical models and empirical data. This paper reviews some of the difficulties encountered in fitting chaotic models to data and then pursues fits of models with stable periodic orbits to data in the presence of noise. Starting with Lorenz's model in a regime with a stable periodic orbit, it investigates how well properties of the deterministic system can be recovered from trajectories of stochastic perturbations. A numerical study suggests, surprisingly, that the stability properties of the periodic orbit cannot be fully recovered from a finite length trajectory as the magnitude of the stochastic perturbation converges to zero. A heuristic framework for the analysis is developed and shown empirically to yield good estimates for the return map of the periodic orbit and its eigenvalues as the length of a stochastic trajectory increases.

Local Stable and Unstable Manifolds and Their Control in Nonautonomous Finite-Time Flows
TL;DR: A methodology for manipulating these directions in any prescribed time-varying fashion by applying a local velocity shear is developed and results are verified for both smoothly and discontinuously time- varying directions using finite-time Lyapunov exponent fields.

Deterministic nonperiodic flow
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that nonperiodic solutions are ordinarily unstable with respect to small modifications, so that slightly differing initial states can evolve into considerably different states, and systems with bounded solutions are shown to possess bounded numerical solutions.
Measuring the Strangeness of Strange Attractors
TL;DR: In this paper, the correlation exponent v is introduced as a characteristic measure of strange attractors which allows one to distinguish between deterministic chaos and random noise, and algorithms for extracting v from the time series of a single variable are proposed.

TL;DR: A review of the main mathematical ideas and their concrete implementation in analyzing experiments can be found in this paper, where the main subjects are the theory of dimensions (number of excited degrees of freedom), entropy (production of information), and characteristic exponents (describing sensitivity to initial conditions).

Geometry from a Time Series
TL;DR: In this paper, the existence of low-dimensional chaotic dynamical systems describing turbulent fluid flow was determined experimentally by reconstructing phase-space pictures from the observation of a single coordinate of any dissipative dynamical system and determining the dimensionality of the system's attractor.
